TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. SLOAN, of the city and county of St. Louis, and State of Missouri, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Butter-Tricrs; andI do hereby declare that i the following is a full and clear description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

This invention relates to an improvement in the common huttcr-trieiyby combining with the .erescent gouge, used for that purpose,a scraper, so constructed as to fit the cavity of the trough of the gouge or trier; and the said scraper, so provided, is also constructed in such a form as to be easily and simply applied to the purpose for which it is intended. U I

To enable those skilled in the art to make and use my improved butter-trier, I will proceed to describelits construction and operation.

Figure 1 otthe drawings is a perspective view of the trierA and its scraper E.

Figure 2 is a plan of the scraper.

The gouge or trier A is of the usualconstruction, and hence need not be minutely described. The scraper B is simply a fiat piece of wood or metal, provided with a handle, 6, and the forward end of. it is prepared and constructed so as to fit the groove of the trier A, by the simple means of making two re-entering slots 6, and leaving between them a convex scraper-piece, b the said piece being fitted and formed so as to fill up the cavity of the trier-when placed therein. By this simple expedient the butter may be scraped out of the trier in one intact piece, so as to disclose the quality for the entire length thereof.

What I claim, is l The scraper B, when provided with a handle, I and a convex scraper-piece, 6 as described and set forth. In testimony of which invention I hereunto set my hand and seal in presence of-- l WILLIAM H. SLOAN.
